    Pax Americana would begin. Everyone would live happily and be able to focus on other matters besides defense as the US would ensure democracies militarily.

    I though you werre generally opposed to big government , you can't get any bigger than what you put forward there .
    Now would thse citizens have rights to weapons to "protect" themselves against the governmnet if they felt that their government was going the wrong way ? Or would they be second class citizens of Pax America .
    Oh BTW its the 21st century you want to be dragging them into the 20th century is just soooo passe nowadays.

    I voted the America is doing fine option
    Why do you think they are doing fine? The war in Iraq has made them even more bitter, and it's killed some thousand allied soldiers while doing it...

    I believe America has a responsibility to be somewhat of a Wrold police officer
    That is total BS. Why do we need to but into everyone elses affairs? It's none of our friggin business...

    The UN is nothing without us and cannot project any real power.
    That's why many nations completely hate us. That arrogance is exactly why we're made fun of...

    Sorry Panzer but do you really think US taxpayers wold be happy to pay for the protection of the rest of the world.Or should the rest of the world pay taxes to US for their security?
    That would be made up for in trade deals and such.

    Now would thse citizens have rights to weapons to "protect" themselves against the governmnet if they felt that their government was going the wrong way ? Or would they be second class citizens of Pax America .
    Second class citizens of course.

    Oh BTW its the 21st century you want to be dragging them into the 20th century is just soooo passe nowadays.
    No way.. they have to reach the 20th level of civilization to even have a shot at the 21st.

    You are totally right but just for arguments sake I will interject that no one thought Germany could be a threat to the world either and the US is considerably larger with more resources. If our next president had a little tiny mustache and could speak with some charisma the world should watch out.

    Unlikely. Within the courses of history "pure" politics always take the backseat to an individual's ambition, or, more importantly, the economic concerns. It's the food on the table that pushes the masses, not the right to vote. And taxes are the closest thing the masses know about government. Trade deals for the masses are simply something very far away.

    They are in the 21st century, Panzer. Simple as that. It's 2005 in the Common Era now across the globe.

    Oh well, like it's going to happen anyway...

    By the way, I voted that the US should fight terrorism within the context of UN agreement. That doesn't include invading countries because your dad failed to finish the job.

    Very telling that the one point Panzer doesn't confront is the one that shows the fundamental inconsistency behind his views.
